FIVE LOTS - PART FIVE - GIFTS COMING IN AND GOING OUT

Here I am then at part 5, I do hope you have read the others...
Here are things I have received from lovely lovely people - out of the blue...
First from my third daughter - aha surprise -
 Little Di, she is my daughter Suzanne's friend, but calls me mum,
I have got ROBBIE his latest CD WOW Thanks Little Di
xxxxxxxxx



SO you can see it better...
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It is great, go buy it...



Then from Marian, off the PP Forum, we, that is, Marian, Annette and myself, are doing swaps and stuff between us and Marian has come up with an idea - she has sent a package to us... here it is;



and inside, was this wonderful fabric. We have got to make something - whatever we wish to make -with it
She is interested to see the different things made with just one piece of fabric, we got a yard each, Rebecca, got a piece of Bratz fabric... here is the fabric... I love it Marian, I also have an idea............



Here are some strips of all sorts of fabrics, I have been cutting for my friend Tonya, she is making a quilt with 1" strips - crazy girl - so I said I would cut some for her, I have a way to go as yet, thought they looked pretty though like this.... that is 1/2" finished strips folks!!!!!!!



Now this needs an apology from me My lovely Susan in Liverpool sent me this for my birthday and I forgot to put it up here for all to see, it is a piece of fabulous fabric and some threads, along with a beautiful card, many many thanks belatedly Susan, I hope you forgive me. xxxx



This is something different, I have been clearing out patterns I no longer want or will make and offered them up, all I asked was people to send me a fat quarter of cream fabric for said pattern of their choice, I received this from Pamela, with an extra of the pattern of the bag, thank you Pamela very much...



There we are then folks, I hope I have held your attention for a little while and also hope you enjoyed all these piccies, I am off to finish a Quilt now. Bye, do call again.

I've only been away from the computer for a few days and what goodies I have missed. Your postcards are fantastic. A belated Happy Birthday. Sorry about the embellisher course, it is a pity that it wasn't more inspiring but I am sure you will enjoy the book when it arrives..
